Grazing Bruny

No driving for me today as we took a tour to Bruny Island with Bruny Island Safaris. The tour combined local produce tastings and scenery and we only have positive things to say about it. The tour guide was great and he even picked us up from our van park near Hobart Airport as it is close to the depot.

Bruny Island Cheese - yum - bought two cheeses, some quince paste and their incredibly delicious lemon curd:

Morning coffee at Two Tree Bay (a Captain Cook stop):

Cape Bruny and tour of lighthouse (the hill up to the lighthouse did me in but PD braved the spiral stairs):

There were wild flowers and flowering shrubs lining the pathway to the lighthouse:

Lunch at the Bruny Hotel was included as part of the tour:

The climb to the lookout over the isthmus connecting North and South Bruny, "The Neck", is worth it for the views.

To the north:

Next stop was an oyster tasting at "Get Shucked". Lovely oysters and they even have a drive through window!

After catching the ferry back to Kettering, we stopped at a chocolatier for an entertaining and informative chocolate tasting. Naturally I bought some of the very reasonably priced, quality chocolates! We also stopped to buy ice cream at Oakley foods. The peach flavour was moorish.

An absolute gem of a day!
